Legendary basketball manager

Soon, Fei Shen boarded the plane to Sacramento without stopping.

By this time night had fallen.

If it was placed in the previous life, Shen Fei would probably think of a way to attack the base tonight.

But now he is on duty, and there will be a shareholder meeting of Under Armor tomorrow morning.

That is to say, tonight, Shen Fei can only have a quick meeting with Ajiali, and then he will fly back to Houston non-stop.

"Oh... I still think about it after all, otherwise I wouldn't have to travel long distances to see her at night."

Shen Fei muttered to himself.

............

On the plane, Shen Fei had nothing to do, so he swiped his phone.

At this time, the major social platforms are full of discussions about the Christmas war.

Of course, among the five games, the most popular game is naturally the game between the Heat and the Rockets.

The contest between these two champion favorites is not only a major event in the basketball world, but also attracts the attention of many big names in other fields.

This point, Shen Fei also noticed through the big screen at the scene during the game.

Fantastic female fans like James - Rihanna, Justin Bieber who loves basketball, and heartthrob in the football world - David Beckham...all appeared at the game.

From this, we can get a glimpse of the popularity of this game!

Before the game was over, the entry of #圣诞大战，空门vs热火# became a trending search on Twitter.

And when Shen Fei clicked on this entry, there were already tens of thousands of comments below.

Among them, several highlighted messages impressed Shen Fei deeply.

Some lamented the power of the rocket:

"This game fully reflects the gap between the two teams. If they really meet in the finals, I can't imagine the possibility of the Heat winning. Has the Big Three who worked so hard to form just become cannon fodder?"

"Yao Ming is a pillar in the paint, and Tracy McGrady and Curry are unstoppable. This season's championship seems to be obvious."

"Shen Fei, you are my god! What kind of magic did you cast to turn the 'ruins' of Houston into a basketball paradise."

Some looked for reasons for the Heat's failure:

"A big reason for the Heat's defeat is that...except for Janeway, no other players stood up! In the three quarters, James scored 30 points, Wade scored 28 points, and scored more than half of the team! They have performed well enough!"

"The Heat lost, James didn't lose!"

"Spicy Bosh, even a rookie like Griffin can't beat him, so he can make a lot of stats in a weak team."

Some are also thinking about how to defeat this thriving rocket:

"Based on my decades of experience watching football, there are only three teams in the league that have the potential to beat the Rockets.

One is the Heat, but they need to focus on strengthening the inside line and cannot let Yao Ming play so easily;

The second is the calf.At this point, Nowitzki can accurately attack the Rockets as a weak fourth position.And the German chariot can be pulled to the outside line, Yao Ming can't help his teammates defend him.

The third is Thunder.These kids in Oklahoma City have no limit to their talents, but they still need time to develop, and they may become strong opponents of the Rockets in the future. "

"It's not that complicated, let's form an Eastern All-Star team, maybe we can beat the Rockets."

"The previous Rockets actually had weaknesses—their outside shooting was not stable. But now, the addition of Curry and the transformation of Danny Green have completely made up for this weakness!"

......

Seeing the netizens expressing their opinions, Shen Fei smiled slightly, but what he thought of was the potential crisis in the big victory.

During the game, the young Asians could clearly feel that the referee's calls were biased towards the Heat.

However, today's game was played at the home court of the Rockets!

There is no home whistle, but the referee clearly favored the visiting team.

This made Shen Fei suspicious... The Alliance is going to attack the Rockets!

"After all, the NBA is Nike's backyard..."

The Asian youth muttered to himself.

The meaning of this is not to say that Nike controls the nba.

To be precise, it should be... nba tends to hold the top brand of Nike as the face of the league.

Today's Rockets, without exception, do not belong to Nike's core players.

Needless to say, Curry and George, they just signed with Under Armour.

With the two cores of the team - Yao Ming and McGrady, one signed a long-term contract with Reebok, and the other is the owner of Adi's lifetime contract.

It is worth mentioning that Yao Ming also had a humiliating experience similar to Curry.

In fact, Nike provided Dayao with a contract when he was in high school.

The cooperation between the two parties lasted until 02, which was the year when Yao Ming was elected No. [-].

In 03, the contract expired, and the two sides began to discuss the renewal.

What makes people speechless is that Nike only gave a 4-year contract extension of 160 million US dollars.

Yes, they want to sign Yao Ming with an average annual price of 40 US dollars!

What Yao Ming and his team want is an average annual contract of 500 million US dollars.

The Nike representative who was in charge of contract renewal negotiations said, "Are you kidding me?" after hearing Yao Mingfang's offer.

The negotiations between the two parties were terminated immediately, and they broke up unhappy.

Simply put, among the Rockets' five starters, only Griffin is owned by Nike.

If such a team becomes the champion, Nike will naturally be upset.

But considering the Chinese market represented by Yao Ming, the league did not suppress the Rockets too much before.

However, with Shen Fei's "rhetoric words" at the press conference of Under Armour, things changed.

Shen Fei guessed that the alliance felt the pressure from Nike and was preparing to sanction the Rockets.

Today's Christmas battle seems to be the beginning.

However, Shen Fei was not too worried.

On the basketball court, strength speaks after all.

The referee may be able to change the normal situation in certain rounds, or even in a certain game.

But in the playoffs, in the seven-match series, Shen Fei didn't believe that the referee could decide the winner.

Of course, self-confidence belongs to self-confidence.

While Shen Fei despised the opponent strategically, he still respected the opponent tactically.

In his previous life, he was in the business world, and he did countless times of crisis public relations, and he had a very in-depth research on "public opinion guidance".

Now that he knew the possible sanctions from the alliance, Shen Fei immediately thought of countermeasures.

[Don't you want to suppress me with a black whistle?Then I'll be a poor victim. ]

With this in mind, the corner of Shen Fei's mouth curled into a sly arc.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed the director of the Rocket Propaganda Department.

"Starting tomorrow, write an article about the league's suppression of the Rockets every day."

"As long as there are some controversial penalties in our games, they will immediately be played up on various social media."

"In a word, as long as there is a penalty that makes the Rockets blow a loss, it will frantically swipe the screen on the Internet. Do you understand?"

Shen Fei emphasized.

After getting an affirmative answer, the Asian youth hung up the phone with satisfaction.

After all, the nba is a business alliance, and it still needs to maintain a "great and upright" image on the surface.

Shen Fei's move actually captured this point!

Of course, he still can't think about it. The current NBA president is David Stern.This old man who is about to retire is quite shameless.

If there is too much public opinion about the "black whistle" on the Internet, Shen Fei believes that Stern will change his mind because of this.

If it was Adam Silver (Stern's successor), then Shen Fei's move might be useless.

After all, Xiao Hua is really shameless.

............

After Shen Fei finished all these, the plane also arrived at the destination.

The cabin opened and the escalator slowly descended.

As soon as Shen Fei walked out of the hatch, he saw a tall woman waiting for him not far away under the night sky.

Of course, there was a row of bodyguards standing behind her...
